Confusing "Press RIGHT to" message in random mix menu
Last modified: 2006-02-18 05:00:03 UTC
Im seeing something confusing on the random mix menu a recent 6.5b Guessing at the intended behaviour: The random mix menu contains five items: four for starting the different types of random mix, and one for selecting the genres to include. If there is a random mix currently playing it includes a sixth item, for stopping the random mix. On occasions it includes a truncated version of this sixth menu item even when there is no random mix currently being played. The menu entry is three words: "Press RIGHT to". Pressing right indicates that the random mix stopped (even though there wasnt one playing), and the menu shrinks back to 5 items. This is on Ubuntu breezy, a 6.5b deb from a few days ago, with AlienBBC and no other plugins. I hope this helps,
I've been unable to reproduce this. Starting a random mix shows the added menu item with full text. Lading a new playlist to end the mix, and the menu is gone. Are you able to narrow down the conditions that cause the truncated text?
change 6304 has a fix for a different issue, but I think it may clear up the issue described here. it involves an extra sanity check before that added menu item shows up. without a type, you might get truncated text (since the rest is chosen by the type). This check ensures that a type exists before adding the menu item. hope that helps. Let us know if you are able to reproduce or not, so we can close this off.
Confirmed fixed. thanks.
